Making Buick 350 Headers for Gbody

I talked with Vic last week about the headers and he would be interested in a set if they ever make it to production

Dave talk to TA Performance they have the oil system solution for the Buick 350. As well as other Buick performance shops such as Automotive Machine & Performance down in Hebron? KY. One of the other Buick 350 thread posters maybe Tobyp who recently built one talked about it on another Buick 350 thread.

Automotive Machine and Performance is south and west of Louisville and they supposedly were the ones that did a 350 buick build on the Speed Channel. As for the oiling system, its not such a system versus setting up the timing cover to where there is less restriction for the flow of oil. I needed a new timing cover and pump assy so I had TA port my cover to the pump and set up the clearance on the gear. I run 10-12 psi at idle and at 2500 rpm 25-30psi, which is right where it needs to be.

Use the Hooker 1103HKR I put them on last weekend and had very minimal issues. Hardest part was putting the starter shield in. With the right tools, it was a breeze.

I may look at customizing the passenger side number 4 exhaust port tube. It touches my control arm fram brace by 1/32" or so. If I changed it the fitment would be absolutely flawless. Once word goes out that this is a direct fit I expect hooker to make a slight adjustment and make a part number. Not sure if I will pursue making what is already made.
